I officially turned "Professional" while in Scotland 2009, when two nice lady tourists dropped
1 pound 56 pence into my pipe case while I was piping a slow Air on the banks of Loch Lomond.
I think they thought I was a local piper in need, and was busking for money.
They had big smiles and were happy... Never the less, I thanked them and kept the change.
That made my day.....
